Blind Mr. Jones - Eyes Wide EP


Hailed from the city of Marlow in England, this short-lived shoegaze band were one of the pioneers of the shoegaze movement in the early nineties. Although unknown to many, fans of this genre can attest to the importance of their contribution. Please do check out this EP and if it entices you I recommend getting their full album Stereo Musicale. Neil Halstead of Slowdive wrote some of the guitar parts on the cut Eyes Wide.
